It's coming up in two weeks! I haven't made real friends here at all yet so I really don't know what to do... I know I will torture myself with sadness and blame if I spend my birthday alone but I don't really feel confident enough to invite someone over. Last year, my friends organized me a surprise party and there was no problem... However, this time, I'm so worried how it will turn out. Do you guys maybe have some advice? 🙂
Happy birthday in 2 weeks!

Do something you want, even if it's with family. Go out for a nice dinner or something. Celebrate it the way you want to and the day should be a success, friends or no friends.

I hate it!!! And its this Saturday. I was originally going to go out to my parents on the Sunday for my birthday/easter but once I found out a bunch of other people were going to be there, I made up an excuse and re scheduled it for Saturday and I find out today that my plan totally backfired and all those same people that were going to go on Sunday are now going on Saturday, arrrggg. I hate it enough and to have many other people there just isn't what I wanted. Know what I usually do? I don't tell a soul about my birthday and when its the day, I will go buy two nice cigars and hang out with a close friend and smoke them. That's all I want to do. No "Happy Birthday!" from a million people. Can't stand being the centre of attention

Happy birthday in advance 🙂
I always try to spend my birthday the way I like. Listening to my favourite music, reading books, relaxing or spending time with my family. It doesn't have to be grand just try to have a good time by yourself.

Im getting to hate my birthday, I still continue to feel frustrated about not having a relationship or girlfriend. I have preferances and i wont break those preferances either. Im sick and tired of being told what to do by family and all too.

I despise my birthday, I just want to spend it with close family but every year my wife secretly invites so-called friends of mine that only come around when they need something. I try to be in the woods hunting all day just to avoid them.

My birthday is a really sad day for me. On my twenty first, I came home and found my grand mom dead. So I hate my birthday. We were really close & I miss her terribly.

I'm sorry about your loss. Try to remember her for the days she was here rather than the day she left. I hope you feel better.

Don't celebrate it.

Birthday is usually just any other day for me, as well. I would love to have a nice day with some friends and do some fun things but for the last decade, I'm sorta' missing the friends part... oh well, more pizza for me. :😛:

I loved my birthday until I turned like 19 or something...when something really bad happened to me and ever since then I've had bad things happen to me on that day (things that never, ever happen to me normally). But my birthday month is still my favorite because I love the springtime and a lot of people I know also have birthdays. Lots of cake that month, mmm. 🙂

Nope, don't like it. It's going to suck, like it does every year.
